Synopsis:
"My name is Jim, but most people call me...Jim." And most people call Blazing Saddles deliriously funny. Filmmaker, star and paddle-ball whiz Mel Brooks goes way out West and way out of his mind with a spiffy spoof set in an 1874 Old West where 1974 Hollywood is just one soundstage away-and where nonstop fun blasts prejudices to the high comedy heavens. Cleavon Little, Gene Wilder, Slim Pickens, Harvey Korman, Madeline Kahn and more join for horseplay and horselaughs, making Blazing Saddles the # 6 choice among the American Film Institute's Top-100 Comedies. Give these out to the boys in Lieu of pay. And enjoy

It's Funny! - Blazing Saddles: 30th Anniversary Special Edition review by JJ

Spoiler Alert
01/11/2020

They wouldn't make it now, but I am very glad they took a different view in 1974. The Blu-ray restoration has scrubbed up very well and there are a few interviews with the director & stars on the disc which are worth seeing. Maybe the original gross-out comedy, it's still a hoot!
